Reserved Cards
I am taking reservations on my cards. If you want to trade, or if you want to buy one, I am holding them. The forum has a whole ton of them waiting to be claimed. I have about 300 cards saved up for the moment I can trade again, but I don't have them all posted just yet.
Unfortunately, I will only be able to send out the cards when we finally get a vacation (hopefully in winter), or when we leave here. Leaving would be around this time next year. I know that seems like a LONG time to wait, but if you want to reserve a specific card, you gotta do it quick. Some cards have already been claimed.
If you want to trade cards, the themes I like are gothic, vampiric, or the Legend of Zelda series. However, I love all art, so if you have a card you'd like to send me, you can just shoot me a message.
The easiest way to reserve cards is to register to the forum and comment on the card you want. That will be an immediate reservation.
You then have a little while to create a card for trading, or you can PM me there with ideas for a trade.
See you there!

FUCK hairspray!
I keep seeing, over and over again, that people are suggesting to use hairspray to fix their art from smudging. That is the ONLY THING IN ART that crawls under my skin.
DON’T use hairspray if you value your art at all. You are worth more than that. Don’t cheap out because you don’t want to spend one or two more euro or dollars to get the good stuff. Fixative isn’t that damned expensive.
STOP TELLING PEOPLE TO USE IT! I cannot stress this enough. If you don’t care if you art outlasts you, then good for you, but maybe others don’t want their hard work to crumble away in 20-50 years.
I know I wouldn’t.
